I've been thinking why am I so nervous about something I've been waiting for so long. I think I'm afraid to fail, not been successful. I've done so many diets, exercises, etc. I've lost a lot of weight just to gain it all back and even more. I'm afraid I will lose all the weight and gain it all back. My surgeon is very patient with me and tells me the band will be the tool that will remind me how to keep those pounds off. I'm 120 pounds overweight. A lot, isn't it?
